Yeah, I'm not sure. Forks don't give me the same grief. Maybe it's the curved shape/entry angle. Also, stainless steel chopsticks are needle like at the ends

Yeah, I'm not sure. Forks don't give me the same grief. Maybe it's the curved shape/entry angle. Also, stainless steel chopsticks are needle like at the ends and have very little surface for friction to pick things up, so they're kind of dainty in that respect --I struggle to pick up a good bite.
